OK. Here. It isn't some glass company's marketing website with a vague statement about working with the car companies.

There are no less than 6 impact tests that MUST be passed. They can make it as thin and light as they want it still has to pass the tests to be approved. I am fully aware of all the requirements and not confused about anything. This is the sort of shit I have done for a living for the last 30 years.
This is not some theory that I made up it is a legal requirement. Basing your theory on the fact that a couple of guys got chips early in their ownership is ridiculous.
